answer text <p>Her Majesty’s Prison and Probation Service (HMPPS) is committed to meeting the needs of all vulnerable offenders, including those who have previously been in local authority care. All individuals that come into contact with the criminal justice system need to be able to access the right support to help them engage with their sentence.</p><p> </p><p>HMPPS has a Strategy for Care Experienced People which is based on the assessment of needs specific to this group. The strategy focuses on identifying people with care experience and collaborative working with local authorities and other organisations, helping individuals to receive the necessary support.</p><p> </p><p>HMPPS holds a limited amount of the information requested. Since 2015, as part of the basic custody screening interview, we have recorded the answers of all new prisoners coming into custody as to whether or not they have been in the care of local authority children’s services at any time. The information is purely self-declared.</p><p> </p><table><tbody><tr><td><p>Age when BCS Part 1 Completed</p></td><td><p>2015</p></td><td><p>2016</p></td><td><p>2017</p></td><td><p>2018</p></td><td><p>2019</p></td><td><p>2020</p></td><td><p>2021</p></td><td><p>2022 TYD up to and including 31/03/2021</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Age 18 to 25</p></td><td><p>281</p></td><td><p>285</p></td><td><p>233</p></td><td><p>206</p></td><td><p>214</p></td><td><p>143</p></td><td><p>134</p></td><td><p>49</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Age 26 or over</p></td><td><p>709</p></td><td><p>772</p></td><td><p>678</p></td><td><p>701</p></td><td><p>657</p></td><td><p>467</p></td><td><p>460</p></td><td><p>151</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p> </p><p>The data for 2022 is up to and including 31 March which is the most recent date for which it can be verified.

answer text <p>The IPP Action Plan is regularly reviewed to ensure that it is responsive to the needs of those serving IPP sentences, whether in prison or in the community. During the COVID-19 pandemic, and in accordance with measures mandated in the interests of public health, HM Prison and Probation Service (HMPPS) implemented exceptional delivery models which inevitably had some impact on all operational work. A large number of IPP prisoners have been released each year since the IPP Action Plan was first introduced in 2016, and the Plan will be refreshed, reviewed and republished after careful consideration of the forthcoming Justice Select Committee’s Report and recommendations.</p><p>HL7157 &amp; HL7158:</p><p>HMPPS operate four Progression Regimes in closed, adult male category C prisons which provide opportunities for parole-eligible prisoners who are not making anticipated progress, and particularly prioritise places for those serving an IPP sentence. The first Progression Regime opened at HMP Warren Hill in December 2014. Following the success of the Regime at HMP Warren Hill, a further three Progression Regimes were opened in 2018 at HMP The Humber, Erlestoke and Buckley Hall.</p><p>The following table shows the number of prisoners in England and Wales subject to Imprisonment for Public Protection (IPP) sentences that have been (1) received into, and (2) released from, Progression Regimes in each year since 2017.</p><table><tbody><tr><td><p><strong>Year</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>Received onto a Progression Regimes</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>Release from a Progression Regime</strong></p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2017</p></td><td><p>80</p></td><td><p>47</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2018*</p></td><td><p>124</p></td><td><p>30</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2019</p></td><td><p>119</p></td><td><p>43</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2020</p></td><td><p>92</p></td><td><p>43</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2021</p></td><td><p>80</p></td><td><p>44</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p>* Progression Regimes opened at HMPs Erlestoke, Humber and Buckley Hall.</p><p> </p><p>These data have been drawn from local spreadsheets and databases held by the Progression Regimes, as national data systems can only capture movement for a whole prison, rather than individual units within a prison. As with any large scale recording systems, the figures are subject to possible errors with data migration and processing.</p><p>The total capacity of the Progression Regimes was 202 in 2017, with only the Progression Regime at HMP Warren Hill operational at that time. This number rose to 350 spaces (202 in HMP Warren Hill, 40 in HMP Erlestoke, 48 in HMP Humber and 60 in HMP Buckley Hall) with the opening of the three additional Progression Regime sites by the end of 2018. In 2019 a further 40 places were opened in HMP Erlestoke, however last year one of their Progression Regime units closed, affecting their number of places. This unit is being replaced with a new one later this year.</p><p>HL7160:</p><p>Psychology reviews for IPP prisoners commenced in 2016 and targeted those serving IPP sentences where no progress had been made to either open conditions or release despite 2 or more post tariff parole reviews. In 2019, the cohort was widened to incorporate IPP prisoners with tariffs of fewerless than 2 years. In 2021, the cohort was again expanded to include all those 5 or more years post tariff irrespective of whether they had been to open prison previously, those serving IPP sentences for non-sexual and non-violent offences, and those serving IPP sentences for robbery.</p><p>The following table shows the number of IPP psychology reviews completed for eligible IPP prisoners, as described above, each year since 2016. The high figure in 2016 reflects the fact that a large proportion of those eligible had their reviews in the first year the central reviews were introduced:</p><table><tbody><tr><td><p><strong>Year</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>Reviews completed </strong></p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2016</p></td><td><p>873</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2017</p></td><td><p>209</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2018</p></td><td><p>225</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2019</p></td><td><p>159</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2020</p></td><td><p>107</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2021</p></td><td><p>212</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p> </p><p>HL7161:</p><p>HMPPS Women’s Estate Psychology Services have implemented an indeterminate sentence prisoners strategy which includes the IPP cohort. The overarching goal of the strategy is to ensure that all are supported to progress through their prison sentences as quickly as possible. Psychologists regularly review cases and work with prison and probation colleagues to remove barriers to progression and expedite completion of interventions and services.</p><p>HL7216:</p><p>The following table shows the number of prisoners subject to IPP sentences that have had two or more post-tariff parole reviews with no progression to (1) open conditions, or (2) release, in each year since 2017:</p><table><tbody><tr><td><p><strong>Snapshot Date</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>Total number of IPP prisoners with two or more “no release” decisions in their latest two reviews (up to the snapshot date)*</strong></p></td></tr><tr><td><p>31-Dec-17</p></td><td><p>1,173</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>31-Dec-18</p></td><td><p>1,028</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>31-Dec-19</p></td><td><p>943</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>31-Dec-20</p></td><td><p>887</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>31-Dec-21</p></td><td><p>874</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p>*Caveats:</p><p>1. The figures in these tables have been drawn from administrative IT systems which, as with any large scale recording system, are subject to possible errors with data entry and processing.</p><p>2. These figures include both the recalled and unreleased IPP populations.</p><p> </p><p>HL7217 &amp; HL7218:</p><p>The following data are produced from service provider returns and, whilst quality assured, are subject to reporter error. As of 31 December 2021 there were 4,869 people with IPP sentences who had been identified as meeting the screening criteria for the Offender Personality Disorder Pathway. OPD pathway screening is an administrative activity which does not necessarily mean someone needs a specific intervention to address a personality disorder. Such a need would be identified when the prisoner’s probation officer reviews the prisoner’s sentence plan to take account of the OPD pathway screening.</p><p>Of those identified as meeting the screening criteria, 2,780 are currently in custody (with 1,200 of these in custody on recall).</p><p>From 1st January 2017 to 31st December 2021, a total of 1,892 offenders serving IPP sentences have been referred to OPD Services as follows:</p><table><tbody><tr><td><p><strong>Year of referral</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>No of IPP Referrals</strong></p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2017</p></td><td><p>177</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2018</p></td><td><p>221</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2019</p></td><td><p>358</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2020</p></td><td><p>517</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2021</p></td><td><p>619</p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>Total (2017-2021)</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>1892</strong></p></td></tr></tbody></table><p>To note: in the breakdown of protected characteristics below, some categories have been merged where necessary to avoid the risk of identifying individual offenders.</p><p>By Age:</p><table><tbody><tr><td><p><strong>Year of referral</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>18-29</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>30-39</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>40-49</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>50-59</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>60+</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>Total</strong></p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2017</p></td><td><p>11</p></td><td><p>72</p></td><td><p>53</p></td><td><p>33</p></td><td><p>8</p></td><td><p>177</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2018</p></td><td><p>7</p></td><td><p>94</p></td><td><p>66</p></td><td><p>44</p></td><td><p>10</p></td><td><p>221</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2019</p></td><td><p>17</p></td><td><p>159</p></td><td><p>99</p></td><td><p>61</p></td><td><p>22</p></td><td><p>358</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2020</p></td><td><p>19</p></td><td><p>238</p></td><td><p>150</p></td><td><p>86</p></td><td><p>24</p></td><td><p>517</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2021</p></td><td><p>22</p></td><td><p>276</p></td><td><p>184</p></td><td><p>101</p></td><td><p>36</p></td><td><p>619</p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>Total</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>76</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>839</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>552</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>325</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>100</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>1892</strong></p></td></tr></tbody></table><p> </p><p>By Ethnicity:</p><table><tbody><tr><td><p><strong>Year of referral</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>Asian: Asian British</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>Black: Black British</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>Mixed/</strong> <strong>Multiple Ethnic Groups</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>Other /</strong> <strong>Not Stated</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>White</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>Total</strong></p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2017</p></td><td><p>8</p></td><td><p>18</p></td><td><p>7</p></td><td><p>0</p></td><td><p>144</p></td><td><p>177</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2018</p></td><td><p>4</p></td><td><p>18</p></td><td><p>17</p></td><td><p>0</p></td><td><p>182</p></td><td><p>221</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2019</p></td><td><p>15</p></td><td><p>41</p></td><td><p>6</p></td><td><p>1</p></td><td><p>295</p></td><td><p>358</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2020</p></td><td><p>14</p></td><td><p>57</p></td><td><p>24</p></td><td><p>0</p></td><td><p>422</p></td><td><p>517</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2021</p></td><td><p>12</p></td><td><p>63</p></td><td><p>32</p></td><td><p>7</p></td><td><p>505</p></td><td><p>619</p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>Total</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>53</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>197</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>86</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>8</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>1548</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>1892</strong></p></td></tr></tbody></table><p> </p><p>By Sex:</p><table><tbody><tr><td><p><strong>Year of referral</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>Female</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>Male</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>Unspecified</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>Total </strong></p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2017</p></td><td><p>3</p></td><td><p>174</p></td><td><p>0</p></td><td><p>177</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2018</p></td><td><p>7</p></td><td><p>214</p></td><td><p>0</p></td><td><p>221</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2019</p></td><td><p>11</p></td><td><p>347</p></td><td><p>0</p></td><td><p>358</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2020</p></td><td><p>27</p></td><td><p>490</p></td><td><p>0</p></td><td><p>517</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2021</p></td><td><p>39</p></td><td><p>577</p></td><td><p>3</p></td><td><p>619</p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>Total</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>87</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>1802</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>3</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>1892</strong></p></td></tr></tbody></table>

answer text <p>As set out in the Prisons Strategy White Paper, we recognise that prisoner-facing technology can be transformative, including in supporting women with their rehabilitation and preparation for resettlement. To date, we have invested widely in prisoner communication, including rolling out video calling technology in July 2020 and email-reply systems in Autumn 2020 in all women’s prisons. We also completed the roll out of in-cell telephony in all closed women's prisons in June 2021. In addition, as part of family contracts, all women’s prisons have Family Engagement Workers who will work with and facilitate engagement with local authorities. In the longer-term, we aim to pilot employing social workers in women’s prisons.</p> more like this
